For example, you can adjust recorded notes to precise eighth or sixteenth notes, or make the entire song feel more lively by adding a swing rhythm. You can modify any song, and listen while you change the settings. Swing rate = 75% (51% or higher) : The timing of even beat notes is slightly delayed. Swing rate = 25% (49% or lower) : The timing of even beat notes is slightly early. Press the D [­]/[+] buttons to specify the note type, and press one of the B [­(NO)]/[+(YES)] buttons to specify whether or not you wish to store the changed value. If you select "1/8" or "1/16" for correction, "SwingRate=xx%" is displayed. [. . . ] 4, Jakarta 12930, Indonesia Tel: 21-520-2577 ITALY Yamaha Musica Italia S. P. A.
